Bai Shimo covered her head, her eyes darting around, and smiled sweetly. She was beautiful, and her smile was even more radiant. Many male passengers who were about to enter the station couldn't help but slow down and take another look at her.

"Maybe I'll get into a university in your city someday. Will you take care of me then, brother?"

"No, you're a mature young woman now. You can't always rely on others to support you. Rely on yourself! It's better to rely on yourself than on a man. I want you to learn the true meaning of society and let society teach you a lesson early on."

Bai Shimo pouted at him and turned to hug Yu Mengmeng, who was wearing a hat. The two girls snuggled together, looking intimate and harmonious.

"Mengmeng, I'm leaving. If you miss me, just call me. I got you a new phone, so call me anytime if you need anything."

"it is good."

"I'll come see you as soon as I have time off next time."

"it is good."

"I must kill my brother in the game until he's lying on the ground begging for mercy, like a daddy."

"good……???"

Bai Weiran: ...I'm still catching my breath right here!

She really is my younger sister.

Bai Shimo waved and entered the station, her figure disappearing into the surging crowd.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Bai Weiran spent the whole time traveling around with Bai Shimo and Yu Mengmeng.

Yu Mengmeng looked at him, her eyes showing a hint of unease because of Bai Shimo's departure. She tugged at Bai Weiran's sleeve.

The fact that he has a phobia of men hasn't changed.

Yu Mengmeng has always disliked having direct contact with men.

"I have other things to do," Bai Weiran said.

"I'll take you home first, then I have to go out for a bit. You can stay home and play games."

Yu Mengmeng nodded, then asked curiously.

"...Where are you going?"

"Yes, I'm going to see an old friend."

It's time to tell my old friend to stop the riddle and give himself an answer.

As soon as Wu Ji entered the coffee shop, he saw Bai Weiran sitting happily at the bar with his back to him. He went up to him, patted him on the shoulder, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to him.

"You seem to be in a good mood today. Would you like to go out for coffee with me, Mr. Bai?"

"While you're on vacation during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I'm working overtime like a poor guy. You have to treat me to dinner today!"

Bai Weiran handed over the menu beside him.

"Here, it's on me. The meal allowance is 25 yuan, no more. If it exceeds that, you have to pay for it yourself."

"Tsk, generous, Young Master Bai is really too generous. There are no drinks in this store that cost less than 25 yuan."

Bai Weiran slowly sipped a cup of latte.

Wu Ji ordered his coffee, thanked the waiter, and turned around.

"So what did you want to talk to me about? Just to chat?"

“Yes, chatting,” Bai Weiran said calmly.

"Let's chat, when did you start using that app?"

**

Wu Ji: Oh no, I've been exposed so quickly, I've become the clown?

(*`Van'*)ノ┬─┬ノ┻━┻

Chapter Twenty-Six: A Glance Was Not Enough, the Diagnosis Completed

Wu Ji's eyes widened in surprise, then a sly smile appeared on his lips as he scratched his head.

"Sigh, I must say, Young Master Bai truly lives up to his name."

"Oh no, the clown is myself."

"...But I'm curious, how did you find out?"

Just then, the waiter brought the coffee. The two of them stopped talking at the same time and politely thanked the waiter. The young waitress was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly and sweetly said to them, "Enjoy your meal," before leaving with light steps.

After a long day of being bossed around at work, being sincerely thanked by a customer can warm your heart.

“Three places.” Bai Weiran gripped the handle of his coffee cup.

This suspicion deepened gradually—

Firstly, when discussing Zhen Jing's issues, Wu Ji's understanding of yandere was clearly far beyond that of ordinary people. As Wu Ji's old friend from high school, he knew her inside and out—Wu Ji's love history was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and she had no close sisters or relatives around her. Where did she get such a rich understanding of the mind of a yandere girl?

Secondly, he never forgot the incident of the ruby ​​earring bleeding that day.

"The most important thing is the message you sent me that day."

He sent me this message after leaving the company's product conference midway to rush to Zhen Jing's world—

[Passing By Hero: Bro, you're so gentle, I'm going to cry—]

[Passing By Hero: I know you're looking for me, but don't look for me anymore.]

[Passing By Hero: I'm not in your mission world. According to system rules, only one user can exist in a world at a time. Once you start a mission, that world is closed to other users unless a special application is made.]

“This is strange.” Bai Weiran said as he tore open the sugar packet, poured out a quarter of it, and stirred it slowly.

"Since you clearly know that there can only be one user in a world, how did you know I entered the world? This app's friend function is similar to VX, and it doesn't show online status. Yet my app friends not only know that I entered a mission, but they also know that I took time out of a company meeting to go find someone, and they tease me about being gentle?"

Bai Weiran took a sip of his sweetened coffee.

"Now that things have come to this, the conclusion is obvious: this person lives in the same world as me, and there is a very high chance that he is right next to me and can see my every move in real time."

"Take all three points together, and who else could it be but you?"

Bai Weiran rolled her eyes at Wu Ji.

"Besides, how long have we known each other? Do you think I wouldn't recognize your chat style?"

Wu Ji pretended to have the starry-eyed look of a fangirl.

"Wow—Young Master Bai, you're so smart! What kind of high-IQ genius setting is this? I love it!"

"If I were a woman, I would definitely marry you and have your children."

Bai Weiran remained silent for a while before saying seriously, "If you were a woman, I wouldn't mind marrying you and having you have children."

Wu Ji's smile vanished instantly.

"Young Master Bai, I was just joking when I said that."

"I know, I was just joking."

"No, don't joke with such a serious expression, it's scary." Wu Ji wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

This old friend is great in every way, except that he's too much of a man of his word. So much so that sometimes his jokes aren't taken as jokes by anyone, but rather send chills down your spine and make you feel a sense of dread.

Bai Weiran glanced at him and reminded him, "Wipe your ear, it's bleeding again."

A tiny bead of blood, dark red, hung below her ear.

From the moment Wu Ji said she was willing to marry him, her ears started bleeding.

Wu Ji exclaimed "Oh!" and hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe himself.

"It's okay, this is normal. I come here several times a month."

Bai Weiran frowned, staring at the sparkling ruby ​​earring.

Wu Ji noticed his confusion and, without hiding it, pointed to the earring and laughed.

"This is a contraband."

"You're right, this goes against the rules of the world, and my target is right here."

“We’re all in the software industry, so we know very well that there’s no such thing as a perfect system. As long as a system exists, bugs will also exist. Not to mention such a large cross-world platform, there are naturally countless bugs. The one you encountered was a soul-swapping or body-swapping, but mine is neither.”

Wu Ji tapped his earring, and the ruby ​​earring sparkled.

"She is a mission target in the world of immortals and heroes, a spirit of an artifact, named Honglian."

Bai Weiran stared at the earring in surprise for several seconds.

He had always guessed that it was a remote monitoring device, but it turned out to be Wu Ji's target.

"Hello, Honglian," he greeted her.

The antique-style earrings gave a faint glimmer in response.

"Let's get back to the main topic!" Bai Weiran waved his hand, not wanting to delve into Wu Ji's story at this moment.

He's not that gossipy.

"First, tell me when you started using it? How did you know I was using it too? And most importantly, how did you know that someone had kidnapped my mission target?"

Wu Ji smiled wryly.

"Remember when we graduated, my job offer was canceled at the last minute, and I was unemployed for a while? Back then, I told you I was doing odd jobs during the day and working as a game booster at night—"

"...So the game boosting service you mentioned is this app?"

Wu Ji nodded.

His initial experience was very similar to Bai Weiran's. One day, after being questioned by his soul, he found a yandere girl illustration app on his phone.

"But unlike Young Master Bai, who started with an A-level mission, my initial mission was only a C-level, and I failed miserably. Then I was banned for three months. Sigh, thinking about this, I only have one thing to say—Young Master Bai, you are my god!?"

Bai Weiran raised his hand and called over a waiter.

"Excuse me, another cup of coffee, the bitterest one you have, the kind that makes me nauseous and helps me stay calm, thank you."

The waitress looked bewildered, and Wu Ji clicked his tongue twice.

"Young Master Bai, if you're going to order me this kind of coffee, wouldn't it be more economical to just give me a cup of bitter melon water?"

“That makes sense. You wait here and don’t move. I’ll go to the pharmacy across the street and see if they have any Coptis chinensis powder. I’ll buy some and mix it with water for you to drink.”
